Chapter 588 Learning from Kansai
The Yuan Dynasty came soon, and officials from home and abroad went to Chang'an to attend the court meeting under the leadership of Da Xingtai.
This year's Great Court Meeting is different from previous years. The proportion of court officials has been greatly reduced, or the number of part-time Bafu ministers has been greatly increased. This meant that the imperial court was further emptied out and its functions were more intruded upon by the hegemony.
Of course, the most important thing is that this year's courtiers have added a big boss, that is, the newly appointed General Zhuguo and the great uncle Li Bi.
Since the ninth year of Tatong, Li Bi has been responsible for the military construction of Bafu. After the reconstruction of the Chinese Army in Bafu was completed, he served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army. It can be said that he is the well-deserved military leader of Bafu under Yu Wentai of Daxingtai.
But that is not the case now. After Li Bi ascended the throne as Da Zongbo, he resigned as the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army. Even the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army was directly removed, and the Commander-in-Chief of the various military mansions directly took orders from Daxingtai.
Although he was deprived of his power, there was no dissatisfaction on Li Bi's face. He treated others as usual, with a somewhat unfazed attitude.
If this is the case in private, then Li Bi is more open-minded than Dugu Xin, who has also had his power taken away. Li Tai and his father-in-law have often complained to Li Tai in private that this smelly black otter is not a human being.
Although he knew it was completely impossible, and Li Tai didn't want to arrive at the station and retire early, he still couldn't help but feel a little jealous after seeing Li Bi and Yu Wentai going in and out of the same place and moving forward together.
Zhao Gui also returned to the ranks of high-ranking officials. Although he failed to ascend to the throne of Zhuguo at the same time, he also increased the rank of Sikou, which was slightly more modest than usual. When he entered the imperial city before, his ceremonial guard happened to encounter Li Tai's entourage. He took the initiative to move to one side and waited until Li Tai entered the city before leaving again. He was quite open-minded and open-minded.
Li Tai also knew that it would be difficult to get rid of Zhao Gui, at least when Yu Wentai was alive. This guy is Yu Wentai's living sign for uniting the masses. Ability is not important, but attitude is. And Zhao Gui has also understood his position. He holds the original shares and can receive dividends with peace of mind. There is really no need to compete with young people. No matter how outstanding his achievements are, underachievers like Li Tai will still work for old shareholders like them. .
Dugu Xin is still staying in Heyang and has not returned to the court, but Li Tai is expected to be there soon. When Hou Jing conquered Jiankangtai City and Jianghan was in chaos, he had control of the southeast military aircraft, and of course he had to bring his father-in-law back to the court to watch over him.
Although the condition of Emperor Yuan Baoju, who was dying in the middle of the year, has improved, he is still obviously sick and haggard, just like the Western Wei Dynasty Guo Zuo, who was also in danger.
In the New Year, all the officials in the great dynasty will receive rewards for their merits. Li Tai was also given an additional 500 households because he ranked first in the performance evaluation of various states. Why not get another bottle!
After the court meeting was over, the emperor cheered up and attended for a while. He also asked Li Tai specifically about his father's situation. After hearing Li Tai talk about how his father was reclusive and had no intention of becoming an official, the emperor He felt deeply regretful and asked the palace envoy to prepare a meal and wine for him, and then left the show and returned to the palace.
Compared with the prince's irritability, the emperor is much calmer and does things without making people feel resentful.
After Li Tai took his father to accept this reward, he couldn't help but feel pity for the emperor when he saw his sick face. The tortoise in the temple is not as good as the turtle with its tail painted in the middle. The table full of delicacies can only be looked at but not eaten. It is really a torture.
After the New Year's court meeting, Li Tai did not leave Chang'an immediately. Taking advantage of the free time while the schedule of the northern tour was undecided, he first made arrangements for his father to settle in Beijing.
Fu has distant relatives in the mountains. Today, Li Tai is no longer as helpless as when he first entered Guanzhong. Even Gao Zhongmi has gradually restored contact with his old friends in Guandong due to his growing power.
In addition to Li Tai's family and Li Licheng, the Longxi Li family in Guanxi also had brothers Li Gang and Li Yi, sons of the late Situ Li Yanzhi. Their brothers were mainly officials in Chang'an, and Li Tai only got along with each other as ordinary relatives. During the holidays, officials would visit briefly, but they were not very close to each other.
However, after Li Xiao arrived, brother Li Gang went to Huazhou to greet him in person, with a respectful and enthusiastic attitude. After all, I had been too accommodating to a junior like myself before, but for a cousin like Li Xiao, there was no psychological pressure at all. Of course, I wanted to make the relationship more intimate.
So after learning about Li Xiao's next thoughts, the two brothers were very active and enthusiastic in helping to create publicity.
When Li Xiao entered Beijing, there were also many Shiliu who came to greet him, including Lu Bian and other famous scholars. When they saw the dozens of carts of books accompanying them to Beijing, they couldn't help but marvel at how they had learned from Kansai!
Therefore, Li Xiaogang became famous as soon as he entered Beijing. For a famous family, such an academic reputation is undoubtedly much higher than that of Li Tai, a local tycoon and warlord, so there is an endless stream of visitors every day.
Originally, Li Tai thought that he should pay more attention to arranging his father's life and work in Chang'an, but he found that he didn't need to worry about it at all.
These people gathered together and directly elected a compilation team to organize and compile the thousands of volumes of books that his father brought to Chang'an. His father and Lu Bian, who had already been well-known in Kansai, Taking the lead, those who are able to predict are all the first-time choices with good reputations.
Moreover, many of them held official positions in the imperial court and the Tai government, and they all actively participated in voluntary labor. For example, Tang Jin, the minister appointed by Yu Wentai, even submitted a letter to resign from the Tai government in order to stay in Chang'an and participate in editing. After all, serving in the Taiwan government was only a temporary position, but the experience of participating in academic events was enough to be passed down to future generations.
Li Tai has worked in Guanxi for so many years, and he dare not boast that he can attract talents better than Bafu, but he did not expect that his father could easily achieve it after entering Guanzhong for the first time. This shows the great charm of culture.
Of course, culture never exists independently of other things. Only when it comes to swordsmanship, principles and weapons, can such culture be truly dominant. As for the kind of Nanliang where hundreds of officials and generals dress up and talk about mysteries, it's their own fault.
Apart from anything else, if their family was uneducated in Guanzhong, these collections of books would probably not be transported safely to Chang'an, let alone attracting and organizing time for revision.
With the help of the masses, the Shulu Academy on Longshouyuan was quickly opened. People from all over the capital came to congratulate them and rushed to send their children to the academy to study and gain employment, including some from Huazhou. The head of the town army also wanted to send his sons in.
Li Tai alone received more than a dozen requests, and these were cases where people with insufficient status and qualifications came to him directly. Li Tai refused them all on the grounds that they would not interfere with the daily operations of the school.
If this school is just established and recruits students without any review, it will inevitably be messy and difficult to manage, let alone the creation of a school style. Therefore, it must be more lacking than excessive at the beginning. Li Tai only just transferred Li Ya and The two boys Liu Ang were transferred here, and nothing else was done.
But he took the initiative to let go, but Li Ya was not happy. She just pestered Li Tai and begged: "I have been studying at the village for many years. Doesn't the owner of the village know what kind of talent I am? If there is really academic governance, The wisdom of the scriptures is still a waste to this day!
Brother Bodhidharma was here before, and I couldn't bear to abandon the little boy Liu Ang, so I patiently stayed at the village. But now that Liu Ang has a new place to stay, I have nothing to worry about anymore. I should follow the owner of the village and join the army in armor! Bishop Zhuang, I haven’t shown any improvement for several years. If you still refuse to invite me to join the army, how can I live up to the trust that I, Aye, gave me back then? "
Li Tai listened to what he said so plausibly, and for a moment he couldn't refute it. This kid thought he was a waste, and the bottom line was set too low, so he couldn't attack again.
However, what this boy said is quite reasonable. It is indeed clear what kind of material he is made after studying in the village for several years. It is indeed a waste of time to stay in Longshouyuan Academy, but it is still too young to join the army. , Li Tai asked Li Mu for instructions. If he didn't feel sorry for his son, then he would take him with him to practice and toss.
Because the newly opened school was popular among the public, Li Tai was somewhat neglected in Beijing. He was planning to go to his father-in-law's house to pick up his wife who had returned to the province and go on an outing all the way back to Huazhou, but he didn't expect Wang Yuanxin of Guangling to come to his door in a menacing manner.
After entering the hall, King Guangling threw a thick stack of documents on the case and said to Li Tai: "Choose one!"
"What does your Majesty want me to choose?"
Li Tai was a little confused when he saw this, and looked at King Guangling and asked.
"I have copied all the girls of the right age from each family in the capital. As your family is getting older, shouldn't you choose a bride? At that time, you didn't have many relatives to look after you, so you made a marriage with someone early. But Now that your father has returned, my daughter is also a good match. Once chosen, we will enter the ceremony immediately!"
Hearing what King Guangling said, Li Tai was a little speechless, and after a moment he said: "As the king said, my father is in the capital, and the 14th son is already the governor. I am just waiting to help, how dare I More patriarchal authority!”
"This is also true!"
After hearing this, King Guangling packed up the name books containing the women of the clan, and left here like a gust of wind, heading straight to Longshou Plain. It seems that they don't understand this principle, but they just want to express their stance to Li Tai first that they will always send a daughter of the Yuan family to their home.
